Pages Read progress error/bug for manga?
-
Decided to read through what was up for "The Invincible Summoner Who Crawled Up from Level 1 (Manga)" and after finishing, I noticed the progress was bugged:
I've completely read through each chapter, but it seems that for some reason each chapter is marked as having a number of pages of 42, despite that only being the case for Chapter 1. I noticed when I checked on the website version of the site, Chapter 2's progress is also "37 of 42 pages read", so it doesn't seem to be a bug with the app.
Given this, I thought there might be some bug with the site's back end calculating the maximum number of pages of each chapter based on Chapter 1, or maybe whichever chapter had the largest number of pages, so I thought to check another manga at random, "A Late-Start Tamer's Laid-Back Life", and at a quick glance, it looked like Chapter 1 & 2 both had the correct number of pages marked... Then I checked all the other chapters in the volume.
Turns out, all but the first chapter is being marked as having 25 pages total, even tho only Chapter 2 has 25 pages, and a couple of those other chapters have more than 25 pages, and if I stop on page 25, it'll say I've completed that chapter, even if there are more pages than that.
So yeah, dunno if the number of pages a chapter has needs to be manually input or something, but I'd find this rather annoying if I want to see how far I've read on a particular manga, and I find that for some reason I've only partially read a bunch of chapters…

@TUSF This has been like this for quite a while. It annoys me, but never enough to post here. So thanks for reporting!
I too see this all the time on various manga.

Well, the level of detail hasn't ever been reported before, but the issue with the wrong number of pages on a manga volume is a known issue which in turn breaks the percent completed bar.
All these little manga related issues seems to stem from how the server backend handles manga and the issues are basically going to stay until they're able to revamp how the whole manga server works.

Thanks for raising awareness of this issue. I also find it annoying. Hopefully your investigation will help JNC fix the bug.
